Reviews with content warning for Torture - King of Wrath

I loveddd the book and Dante and Vivian’s relationship was so cuteee at the end obvi not at the start they DEFINITELY needed to work to get their relationship they have

I loved how Vivian never forgave him so easily and she really made him work up his forgiveness which also allowed Dante to realise he had to change his outlook on everything if he wanted to keep her

Full of laughs, cute banter, spicy scenes, and obviously there is no romance book unless you’re getting pissed at the characters for doing the wrong things 🙄 and this book had it all

I love Ana Huang’s writing and her books so from a biased pov I’m always gonna love her books and this is just another one on the top of my list

It was pretty slow pace enemies to lovers, and it seemed to take forever to get there. Vivian is a lovable character who you are rooting for throughout the book and Dante is a man who has never been shown how to love. Vivian’s father is an asshat who blackmailed Dante into an arranged marriage with Vivian so that he could move up in society. Dante can’t look past the fact that even though Vivian doesn’t know about the blackmail she is her father’s daughter and follows his direction.

I was super hesitant to start this because I didn't really vibe with the Twisted series (sorry!) but one of my friends *loves* Ana Huang so I decided to give her another chance.

This was slow at first and I wasn't really invested but once their relationship got more real, I was all in. Grumpy hero who's only soft for the heroine 🥹 it just never gets old.

The break-in aftermath 😭😭😭 that's when I was sold not only on this book but on Dante!!!! what a man. what a rude bitch but also what a man. truly. have i told you that anthony bridgerton is my favourite bridgerton.

I was soo scared of the third-act drama but Dante's groveling was *chef's kiss* They somehow just got cuter after their drama 🥰

Excited to read book 2 but especially excited for Dominic and his wife's story!

This book was devourable! I literally had to force myself to stop reading to study for my upcoming test and get my teacher's notes down for the incoming sub! Lord the heat and chemistry between Dante and Vivian melted my bones until they were liquid. The friction and intensity that the story has built the momentum you open the book! Vivian Lau may come from new money, but she isn't someone who is dependent on her family to make it in the world! However, sometimes family does have an impact on how she does things, and is that always for her benefit or theirs? How does Dante Russo fit into her picture, was he in her picture of the future prior? Dante is an Italian businessman who doesn't take no for an answer and demands perfection everywhere he goes, plus the most eligible bachelor of the Manhattan Social Elite! When Vivian enters his circle, life will never be the same for Mr. Russo The author definitely created conflict in the story that can be relatable for Nouveau Money vs Old Money, but also what scenarios could be like for Asian, or ethnic, populations in general, to have success in the Elite world. It was a subtle conflict of the story, but one that the reader can't help but think about! Either way, the story is a MUST READ NOW and you won't be able to release it until you are on the final page!
